#vivo V40 vs OPPO Reno12

One of the newest phones launched in the Philippines is the vanilla vivo V40 5G boasting a very notable upgrade — the cameras on this one are now all ZEISS-ed up! But does having ZEISS-tuned cameras alone make it THE better choice over other affordable camera-centric smartphones, such as the OPPO Reno12 5G? The vivo V40 has this oval-shaped camera island with different protrusions separating the actual sensors from the LED fill light and what seems to be a flicker sensor. Moving on, a significant advantage of the vivo V40 is its stronger build. The Reno12 does have Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, but sadly, it’s the opposite because there’s no IP rating here. Aside from a more striking design, the vivo V40 gets the point this round thanks to its IP68 rating as an added layer of protection. The Reno12 sports a 6.7-inch display and the vivo V40 boasts a tad bit larger 6.78-inch display both of which are AMOLED panels. They do run at a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, but the V40 one ups the Reno12 with a higher 1.5K resolution (2800 x 1260 pixels) and much brighter screen with a peak brightness of 4,500 nits.
